Sunday, June 12 American River Otter 3 p.m.
The American River Otter is a graceful and beautiful resident of many North Carolina rivers and streams. For kayakers and outdoor enthusiasts an encounter with one of these relatively rare, secretive creatures is an exciting experience.

Sunday, June 19 The Pigmy - Wonder of the Reptile World 3 p.m.
Did you know that hidden in the pine straw of Beaufort County is one of the smallest wonders of the reptile world? Can you imagine reptile enthusiasts traveling hundreds of miles to Beaufort and Hyde counties to search out this little wonder? Meet at the Goose Creek Visitor Center/Education Center to discover what little pink creature brings visitors from so far away.
nbsp; Sunday, June 25 Coffee with the Birds 10 a.m.
Meet in the park’s Visitor Center to enjoy gourmet coffee and a sweet snack during a short presentation on the birds likely to be seen during the upcoming summer months. We will discuss bird-friendly yards, identify the birds at the park’s feeders, and weather permitting, take a hike to spot some avian residents. This one-hour program is sponsored by the Friends of Goose Creek State Park.
Sunday, June 26 Amazing Journeys 3 p.m.
Come to this one hour program and discover the travels taken by our coastal sea turtles. All of these unique animals struggle to survive amid human population expansion along the shoreline. This program will focus on their adaptations, conservation efforts and the stories of their amazing journeys through open seas!
